42. Day 1 of Rejections and pretending to be a courier man to enter celebrities house.
Note : My apologies in advance as i forgot to click pictures and make videos of my rejections. I will make them from now on and post them here.
I have been stalling going out of the house for three days and finally i went out an finished most of my work. I felt the urge to write this blog today because today i have the content. My day started as usual as me getting up pretty late like 10 A.M. The thing about me getting up in the morning is that i don't get up at one go, I get up several times. I have to fill the water, then there are several people who knock at my door and i don't respond. I have going through this for many days and now i have decided to adjust my life around my sleeping pattern instead of trying really hard to change it. Today i am very tired and i felt really sleepy before i again lost my sleep and i am awake at his mid night writing this blog about my first day of rejections.
If you have been reading my blogs ( I know you are not, I check stats everyday), you must be knowing about the rejection therapy. Go through my blogs to know more about it. Search it, Don't seek help from me.
Today was the day when i had to do maximum work. Few days ago, I had taken color printouts of a presentation that I had made of a film I really want to do. It was costly and it took me nearly a week before i decided to invest money into it. I wrapped them all in expensive envelopes and they were all lying for a long time near by bed. Today i dressed up, got my pads ready and went to deliver those envelopes of presentation pretending to be a courier boy. How else am i going to make sure my package reached and more than that i wanted to be at homes of these people.
First I went to Akshay Kumar's House. It was a little difficult to find because it was inside a narrow lane and though my google map girlfriend was helping me, I always missed that lane. Somehow i reached there. I was thoroughly entertained by security guards and i told them that i don't want to go inside, so why don't they just take courier and give inside. They refused. They would hate doing someone else's work. I love pretending to be a courier guy. From the Tweets of Twinkle Khanna i knew that Hritik Roshan lived there. So i asked Security guards to guide me to Hritik's flat and they did and it was so great to see his apartment from outside. It gave me motivation and wealth goals. Soon I promised myself that i will own one here.
After that I moved from there to Salman Khan's Galaxy apartments, Shahrukh Khan's Mannat and Farhan Akhtar's Sea Spring's and i met security guards at all the places and delivered them the courier. Here i didn't get the chance to get too much nearby. I was thrown off at the gates and security guards took the courier from me.
I tried finding Aamir Khan's house and it was such a long hard journey from Hill View apartments opposite Mehboob Studio to Pali Hill Nargis Dutt road. I couldn't find his house because Aamir shifted recently and no one i met knew where. But i saw his old apartment where his mother lived, she was not there today and i accidentally knocked on someone else's, who was a doctor and scolded me for asking her wrong address. She was really in some bad mood and really ugly. I guess no one wished that old lady on her valentine's day so she pour her frustrations on me. She told me i disturbed her int he afternoon when she was resting. It was 5 int he evening, what about going to work and healing people; worst doctor you will ever meet.
Anyways, I did my bit and tomorrow i have to go and visit Yashraj Films and Dharma Films because i couldn't find the address of Karan Johar's house and Aditya Chopra's, so i will probably visit their office.
After that i stopped at a tea shop. I had made a tiffin in the morning. I ate that. Drank my tea with it, smoked a cigarette. Washed my face with water. Combed my hair and moved on the another journey. This journey is to collect money for my short film and i combined the rejection therapy and my short film dream into one. I have made all the necessary presentations and i have my ipad and everything ready. I went to a shop in Khar, I was respectfully declined any conversation. I came out and entered inside a bank and they didn't let me meet the bank manager. I refused to be demotivated and moved further. It was hard to enter the first shop but now i had to move, so i saw a guy smoking cigarette in one hand and wearing an expensive watch in another. I went to him. I tried telling him about my plan and before I could finish speaking he asked me in very derogatory manner, that what do i want from him and unprepared as i was, i said "donation". That was really a wrong word to use. He smoke another shot from his cigarette and with more smug attitude, he said "If i have to donate, I would rather donate it to kids than you." That really hit me and i wanted to hit him on the face but i chose not to, because physically i am not that strong, what would have followed after that hit, only God would know.
I was feeling really tired and just for the heck of it, after that i parked my bike and went to the best hotel of Mumbai, JW Marriot and asked them for a job. The man at reception whom i asked for the job laughed at me like a father laughs at his kid when he asks him something illogically funny thing. He told me that he had never seen anyone asking for job like this. I told him that i was desperate and i don't have any money. He said i have to go and meet HR to get the job. Details after that are irrelevant because i didn't need a job anyways. But i got to know one thing, getting a job is not that easy.
Since i had paid 20 Rupees for the parking and nowadays that much money is a big amount for me, so i decided to roam around and meet more people for money. First shop i entered, the man was so disinterested in life that it felt like he was going to commit suicide and was contemplating doing it before i entered inside and disturbed his plan. Second shop i entered because i saw a beautiful girl there and she was more terrified of talking than me. She never looked me in the eye and kept refusing to give me anything i want. She so didn't want me there. Actually every shop there is infront of JW Marriot is literally customer less. First there is no parking space and second, why would i shop on road when there are malls which have more brands and varieties and discounts. I think it is poor investment to buy a shop in front of JW marriot.
Anyway, I went to one more shop and got immediately rejected there. I really don't remember what exactly happened there because entering inside it was perfunctory. After that i entered another clothing store and the owner of the shop were sleeping, on the table while his workers were busy on their respective mobiles. I entered inside and introduced myself. This time he was ready to listen to me. He saw my show reel, say my presentation, listened to me and finally gave me hundred bucks. I told him that i got rejected five times before getting success here and he congratulated me. He told me that he listened to me because he was also from the film line but he didn't reveal his complete story and i didn't pry much. I thanked him and moved out.
After i was so tired moving from here to there on bike that i returned home. After that there was a dinner party at my friend's place so i went there, ate a lot of curry chicken and came back home to watch new episodes of big bang theory, which is not funny anymore, but i do watch it for Penny. I love her.
So Goodnight for today, Tomorrow i will review the new episode of Billions. My favorite TV show. Wait for it.
And anyone willing to pay 100 Rs. for my film is most welcome. Contact me and become part of the short film.
